It is an herbaceous annual or perennial that grows from 10 to 30 cm tall.

Oblanceolate leaves, about 5-25 per plant, form either a basal rosette with stems absent or in terminal rosettes when plant stems are present.

Inflorescences are 12–30 cm long and produce pink flowers that bloom all year in their native range.

Its typical habitat has been reported as sandy soils in heathland or "wallum" on waterlogged coastal sands.
